What is the “Caveman Brain”?
The “Caveman Brain” refers to the amygdala or the survival instincts in our brain. In the past, it protected humans from physical dangers like saber-toothed tigers by triggering “fight, flight, or freeze” responses. In modern business, however, it often acts as a hindrance. It reacts to non-life-threatening stressors (like making a sales call or taking a risk) as if they were physical threats, creating fear and “stories” that hold business owners back from success.Who is the creator of the Caveman Brain Business Growth System®?
The system was created by Dr. Jean Oursler, also known as “The Results Queen®.” She developed the system after realizing that despite having high-level skills, her own business growth was being stifled by her mindset (her Caveman Brain).What is “Smart Person Syndrome℠”?
Smart Person Syndrome is a condition reinforced by the education system where individuals feel they must always “have the answer” to be valued. In business, this is counter-productive. Dr. Jean teaches that real success comes from asking questions rather than making statements, as this lowers resistance and uncovers valuable insights from clients and employees.What is the Caveman Brain Business Growth System®?
